I am not a great fan of OsoEasy roses. I tried Italian Ice ones that finally look pretty good in their 3rd season. They struggled earlier. The same goes for the At Last roses. I dug those up and planted them in pots. They did way better then. Currently the Lemon Zest rose looks terrible! I was a sucker for the colors. I think your Urban Legend rose is ok. Occasionally, I have had roses put out some crazy canes with foliage, but no blooms. It was a runner from the rootstock, and I just cut it off. It is heartening to learn that other people have challenges with those PW roses. I thought I was doing something wrong.
If I were you, I would plant some kind of interesting evergreen or shrub in your empty spot. The iris can be tucked into smaller spaces in your beds. Things are looking absolutely floral in your garden. Things are looking really good for the garden tour!
I have the same problem here in my South Fl Zone 10, you can’t hardly find them even in the cooler months. After March , no one has them , the few I have did well in the summer heat if I place them in part shade. Thanks for this video.
The rose looks fine to me. Most perennials take 3 years before they reach their best. I think that iris would look great in your back area. Maybe planted with some annuals in front of them after they were done. Thanks for your beautiful garden tour Amanda. Bonny zone 5b
Garden is coming along nicely! How about planting some kind of honeysuckle for the hummingbirds, maybe even some star jasmine for climbing. In the bare spot how about a gardenia? Just some thoughts?
You may want to put a birdbath or a birdhouse on top of a pole (the spot where the oak leaf hydrangea used to be.
I so love watching your garden tours and seeing how everything is coming together. Thanks for sharing
Amanda your garden is looking amazing. I love everything! The colors and textures just make everything pop. Enjoy and be happy.
What happened to rabbits??? How can you have such a beautiful front yard with so many plants while no matter what a single plant I put in, it gets devoured by the rabbits.
Regarding RRD: I have had it in my garden at two different times. Your plant looks nothing like my infected plants did. Roses are known to have thorns, so that characteristic on its own is meaningless . I would get worried if I saw witches broom type growth, which I don't see on your rose. Your idea of contacting PW is excellent.Your garden is lovely!
I was wondering why you don’t level the birdbath? Just a thought.
Beautiful plants, Amanda! Your front garden bed looks very pretty. Totally agree with you about starting with smaller plants, I had to do that with some plants, and then you can divide and have more plants 😀
48 minute tour👀??
Getting my google ready so i can look up any plants i like so i can buy them later 😆
Looking amazing ❣️
The Little Quickfire hydrangea blooms are so much easier to use in bouquets. And now they've come out with Tiny Quickfire. . . I think I have a spot for that!
I agree with the person who said you’re going to have a banner year. Everything looks amazing, especially the backyard raised garden beds.
WOW 😮 😮..you have put in a lot of effort to make it so beautiful 😍..TFS your labor of love with us 😊😊
So many beautiful plants! Congratulations!!
Texas is sure looking good. I'm in Mass. & we can barely make it out of the 40,s. 🙄 Still too early for blooms. Anyway your gardens are awesome. 👍
Beautiful garden! Im just starting, this will be my first full season. I planted some trees and shrubs in the fall but like you am starting quite a few from seed. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Mourning dove in the hanging basket. They almost always lay two eggs and it is very common for them to nest in hanging baskets. They are horrible nest builders unlike many birds who build meticulous, sturdy nests, they just tend to throw a few sticks down lol. They are actually one of the few songbirds that doesn’t feed their babies/nestlings insects but “pigeons milk” instead. The adults also don’t eat insects as they are primarily seed eaters. This is why they still have steady numbers because they don’t rely on insects like many birds do and as we know insects are quickly vanishing with loss of habitat, pesticide use etc. Despite that they are losing numbers because they tend to be over hunted in many areas. They are a common bird for hunters to go after during hunting season. (Also they have beautiful song that sounds like owls).
